Hi there! This is my first time incubating eggs, so I don't really know what to be looking for. On March 2nd, I set 7 Barred Plymouth Rock eggs (they are shipped eggs I got from Meyer Hatchery) in the incubator around 1pm, which makes today day 21. 5 eggs made it to lockdown. The temperature...

So, we are incubating our first batch of 17 eggs from our flock. After joining BYC the other day and was reading though some posts, I realized I needed an Egg Candler ASAP. Being frugal, and having a Laser Cutter/Engraver, I decided to make my own Egg Candler. I present to you my very own...

So one of the eggs hatched 1-2ish days early and the other is due to hatch today but there are no signs it has pipped yet (small crack or peeping) but when candled it looks like it should for day 21 (solid dark except for the air bubble) which is why we were confident it would hatch. Is it...

I just put 32 eggs in lock down this morning. My goal this year is to raise them through the whole process using only my wool hens. No artificial light, no heat source, other than the wool hens. I started out with 41 eggs. I only candled at day 10 and day 18. At day 10: I disqualified 3 eggs as...

hello beautiful chicken people, this is my third attempt at incubating button quail eggs. this time I tried a dry hatch because I hear it's more reliable. today's day 6, I candled the eggs and they're not looking great. are any of them developing? a couple of them have wheels so thick you can't...
